These sort of oblong diamond-shaped cookies are especially popular in Eastern Europe. They can come in various other shapes (round, square, etc.), and their texture is typically flaky or yeast-risen. When flaky, the dough is often made with cream cheese or sour cream, and the fillings vary. Most of the time you'll see fruit or sweet cheese fillings.
